When your local elected officials are leading riots and getting cuffed at federal facilities, it’s no longer public service — it’s street theater. Maybe Rep. McIver and Mayor Baraka should swap the city hall keys for orange jumpsuits.

Trump is a great dealmaker but this one he’s up against odds he might not be able to win. Zelenski seems like he will never agree to giving up the land Ukraine has already lost. He seems like he will force his people to fight until there are no more fighters rather than disarm. Putin has been saying no NATO expansion into Ukraine since the late 1990’s. Both sides are 100% apart on these 2 fundamental issues and many other smaller ones.

Five million bucks can’t buy justice, but it sure screams that Ashli Babbitt wasn’t some insurrection-crazed villain—she was an unarmed patriot standing in the middle of 3 other armed police and was wrongfully gunned down by her own government.

Looks like President Trump had to teach Big Tech what decency means. Melania Trump was instrumental in bringing in this bi-partisan bill. It’s Federal Law now and perpetrators posting “revenge porn” online are subject to arrest.

We see a commercial flight bringing illegals home and we wonder how effective the $1,000 stipend program has been. Do all illegals understand if they are caught and they have not areed to self-deport they will be banned from ever going to the US again ?
